The next step will be going after the preppers, you know, those with an "excessive" amount of ammunition, fuels, and other goods in their larders. No normal person would possess that much so they must be up to no good. Lock them up, confiscate their supplies and make them felons. That seems to be the ultimate agenda.

BTW, has anybody noticed the vast amount of surveillance cameras in public areas? I was walking through Boston Common a few days ago and those cameras were mounted everywhere. These cameras are mounted in every convenience store and gas station, even along highway overpasses.

I'm sure that the technology exists to store all the video being recorded by these cameras in central data centers in log files that are searchable. It's only a matter of time before law enforcement will have the ability to search these archives with face recognition software tools and determine exactly where you have been at any given time. With OCR technology, they could even run your license plate number in a search and see where you have been driving (and how fast you were going).

George Orwell was only a few decades off but his visions are slowly coming true.

Well said.

and how fast you were going

Do any toll roads check car times against distance and issue automatic speeding tickets? I hope they aren't reading this and get any ideas.
